Remedial massage is based on finding out what sort of injury/work/strains the client has and using this information to target the specific muscle groups causing problems. Utilising oil to knead and stretch out those muscles shortened by exercise or work, this allows the muscle to not only relax, but promotes healing and recovery.

An essential part of good posture and reducing stress on the spine and upper back is a well-fitted sports bra. A good sports bra is a key part of any active female’s clothing. As an active female myself, I know how important this is, which is also the reason why I offer a free bra fitting service.
